i can see where toughness appeals, conservatives HUNGER for it,and rightfully so. but the nastiness, the stupidity of much of what he says, and again, the lack of foundational principles to underpin what he says he will do, all give more than enough reason to pause and question and indeed LOOK ELSEWHERE. i see no hope. it’s a trainwreck.
Well, he’s come up with an implied foundational principle of populism, i.e. toss it up to the American people in general to tell him what ought to make America great.
This has caused him to empirically move rightward. The biggest “liberalism” problem in America isn’t even the people. It’s the government, which gains by being nominated nanny of ever more things.
